Since when does "What a horrible noise" (which was probably said by millions about every single pop group of the time - and now) equal "crazy".
And millions more liked it. Many millions think the Smurfs movies are terrible, does that make them great art?
No, it is just a matter of taste.
Are you to be a judge of who is crazy and who is not?
No, because it is irrelevant. I am not the one claiming it is some sign of genius.
Quantum physics shows math is not a simple matter of 1+ 1 = 2.
No it doesn't.
I suppose with your opinion on math you consider non-localiy an insane idea.
No, becauser it comes out of the maths of quantum physics.
You would do well to read more history of science.
I have studied history of science. I don't recognise any truth in what you say. In recent history, about the only example I can think of is the way Eddington suppressed Chandrasekhar's work for a few years. But you get bullies in every profession. Eisntein's vehemnt opposition to quantum theory only made it stronger.
But your use of the word "Bullocks" shows you cannot accept that everyone has a right to their opinion.
Even in the study of history, you need facts to support an opinion.
Democracies .. if forums are not democracies then they are dictatorships aren't they?
Correct. You don't like dictatorships so perhaps you should just go away.
As to your question "what is wrong with you" why is my input seen as being "wrong?"
I can't help feeling there is something seriously wrong with someone who returns to a forum after 18 months absence simply to insult people.
I suspect you are a moderator and have been personally injured.
I have never been a moderator and haven't been "injured" (not since that nasty incident with an axe a couple of decades ago).
"Utter dick?" Why lower yourself to denegrating language used in the drug subculture and criminal element? Is it because you find intelligent and educated language difficult?
Just because sometimes the language of the street is the most appropriate language to use,.
